Chapter 567 Emperor Zhengde's Court

Author: Jiang Xin Yiyu

Si Lian frowned when she heard this, and thought about it and asked,

"Who are they?"

"The Li family is an old friend of our third master. But they have a bigger appetite and ask us for a ship of food..."

"A ship of food, this appetite is really big!"

But if you rent a warehouse, you will ask for a ship of food. This is the lion's big talk!

Zeng Lu'er said hurriedly,

"They didn't want it in vain. They just said that we use the warehouse at will and were willing to pay for our grain, but the price hopes to drop by 30% compared to the market price..."

"oh……"

Silian nodded and asked again,

"Who else?"

"There is also the Sun family, behind which is the Minister of Revenue. The Sun family also said that they use the warehouse on this dock at will and buy half of the ship's grain for the people in the mansion to spend the disaster... and the Lei family, they My family is a distant relative of Du Shishi Lisong…”

Whatever they say is that they have a reputation outside, and Lei Song is the one who makes money behind them!

She planned to provide relief to the disaster-stricken people, but these were not enough, how could she share them with them?

It’s okay if they use it themselves or provide relief to the victims. I’m afraid they buy it, just to hoard goods and stay at high prices to make money. This is because they have a backer behind and are robbing the money openly!

Silian bit her lips for a while and said,

"That's true, there is no need to find a warehouse in Tongzhou. We will transport it directly back to the capital..."

Not far from Tongzhou to the capital, although his own farm was sold, there were still a few places in Mou Biao's village outside the city. It would be better to put it in the farm so that there would be no need to worry about it.

He immediately ordered Zeng Lu'er,

"You hire a fleet to transport the food to the capital..."

I remembered that there are many refugees outside the capital now, afraid that the road will be unsafe, and I said,

"Wait for a moment, I will send someone to send a letter back and ask the Eighth Master to send someone to guard!"

He immediately wrote a letter to Mou Biao, and he quickly sent it back to Beijing. That night, Mou Biao sent someone to deliver the letter to Tongzhou Jinyiwei Station. On the second day, he sent someone to escort the food to the capital. The food moved, One news is the Li family,

"What is Mou Biao planning to do? He is not afraid of choking if he eats alone!"

This is how it is to curse. This is just someone else's, and their family is not as powerful as it can defeat Mu Biao. If they don't give it to them, they really can't do anything!

After getting the news from the Sun family, they didn't say anything. They originally wanted to buy some for their own use, but now they can't buy it at most. But the other end of the Lei family was a little unwilling to give up, so they asked Lei Song to come forward. Lei Song snorted,

"Isn't it just the grain I bought in the south? I'm all the Transport Department. If I can't even handle this matter, why are you still doing this official? He won't sell it to us, so let's buy it ourselves!"

"But now the price of grain in the country has increased. Not to mention the capital, or the grain merchants in the south heard that we bought it in the north, the price of grain rolled upwards at that time!"

"Isn't it just spending more money! It's okay!"

The three families had no food, and they were a little dissatisfied with Mou Biao, but they said they didn't dare to say anything. When Silian returned to the capital, they talked about this with Mou Biao. Mou Biao laughed when he heard it.

"No of these three companies can handle the problem. Si Lian can do whatever she wants. If something happens, I will support you!"

Silian shook her head,

"You can't just let it go, I've figured out a way..."

She talked to Mou Biao like this and this. Mou Biao laughed when she heard it.

"That's it!"

So a few days later, he personally picked up a pen and wrote a letter to the three families, saying that he had transported some grain to Beijing and was preparing to open a shed for a while to serve porridge. This was a good thing for doing good and doing virtue. He planned to invite the three families.

Together, he did this great good deed, and his move turned against the enemy, which made the three families a little difficult to step down.

Promise, the money to spend on porridge is not small, and they are not prepared as early as the Mou family. Now when buying grain, the price of grain is enough for them to hurt. The Sun family replied to their family.

They were worried about not enough food storage, but it was a great good deed. Then they should do their best to send 10,000 taels of silver as they wrote. They were surrendering and seeking peace. When Mu Biao saw it, he laughed and let

The man returned the money and sent another mansion a month's food ration, saying that it was to help them survive the disaster. When the Sun family was overjoyed, the head of the family went to the Mou Mansion to thank him.

The Li family dared to speak loudly, so naturally they were not afraid of Mou Biao. After receiving the letter, they said it was unlucky.

"I don't know if what the boy said is true or not, but his letter has arrived. If he doesn't respond, it will be a joke if he spreads it out. If he responds, wouldn't this be a handful of rice that would be lost?"

It was too late to regret not provoking Mou Biao, so I had to pinch my nose and admit it. After the disaster was serious, many wealthy families in the capital also wanted to open warehouses to serve porridge. That's the case. It would be better to sell Mou Biao a favor.

So I agreed!

He also said that the Lei family was the same. Lei Song couldn't help but scolded him when he saw the letter.

"Look, I've told you to not provoke that kid easily, that kid is just a difficult thing!"

Like the Li family, he had to grit his teeth and admit it in the end. The three families agreed that if the disaster was serious, the three families would open a porridge shed together to serve porridge!

Mou Biao received a reply from the other two companies, smiled slightly, and forwarded the letters from the two companies to Silian. Silian looked at it and said with a smile.

"Even so, I have to go back to my old house and borrow some capable managers from my mother-in-law!"

They separated, and in order to seek peace, the young couple only brought a maid and a woman at home, and they didn't even ask for one in charge. Although many of the managers in the Mou Mansion surrendered to Mou Biao in secret, the young couple had other plans and did not want to

There were too many drags, so no one in charge was confiscated. They only lived in a low-key house in Maoer Hutong. Outsiders came to see him without anyone's introduction, but they really didn't know that this was the residence of the third-rank official of the court.

Mou Biao said with a smile,

"That's natural, but there's no hurry to do this..."

Speaking of this, I sighed,

"Our food is just a drop in the bucket. We still need the imperial court to send officials to provide disaster relief earlier!"

Speaking of this Silian, I am very concerned about it.

"Now that Your Majesty has raised so much money in the south, the court should have money. I think the people will be better off in this disaster year, right?"

Mou Biao sneered after hearing this, and the contempt in his eyes almost turned into an arrow, shot out from his eyes. He walked back and forth in the room with his hands on his back.

"What are you doing after being your Majesty for so long?"

Silian shook her head,

"I don't know..."

"A bunch of people are practicing verbal practice every day and morning!"

Silian widened her eyes,

"Practice your mouth, what can I do?"

"Hmph! What you practice is naturally to...small...small!"

Mou Biao gritted his teeth and burst out three words from his teeth.

"This group of people who are not doing human affairs are better off without money. Now that they have money, they all jump out..."

Speaking of the things in the court these days, Mou Biao was full of disgust and contempt. The money His Majesty asked for from the south now in the court is like a pile of huge cow shit on the road.

As soon as the smell came out, the bunch of shit-eating things immediately surrounded.

After a while, the Ministry of Personnel said that the salaries of officials from all over the country, especially those in the capital, had been owed for a long time. I hope that His Majesty would allocate some money to pay the salaries to the officials. He also knew that the national treasury was difficult, so he didn't need to do more, only one or two hundred and eight hundred million.

Two silver!

Silian stuck out her tongue when she heard this.

“Not much?”

Mou Biao snorted,

"It's all the time when officials are officials, who don't know who they are. The salary of Daqing has never taken it seriously. The salary set by Emperor Taizong has never increased in recent years. If it really depends on that little silver

After living, the officials of Daqing had already starved to death. They tried their best to reach out and they would get the money when they saw it. They became sick!"

Zhu Houzhao was not that confused emperor. How could he not know what happened in the court? He immediately rejected the memorial from the Ministry of Personnel!

But Daqing has been short of money for a day or two. The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War are all called poor in front of His Holiness. Some of them are indeed stubborn diseases that have been left for a long time, and they should indeed be the court.

Divide the money.

For example, the Ministry of War said that the military preparation was absent, and many military weapons were already in ruins. The military officers and soldiers of the military were even reluctant to use military weapons. When there was a war, it would be easier to use a hoe at the farmer's house than to send weapons!

Si Lian frowned when she heard this.

"This...is something happened!"

Although she was in the capital, she went out to see the world. On the beach, she heard that Japanese pirates would sometimes come ashore to harass the sea. The officers and soldiers of the garrison were ordered to suppress the Japanese, but the team of hundreds of people met Japanese pirates and ronin people, and there were only three or five.

With a long sword in his hand, he could sweep a hundred people. The people scolded the officers and soldiers for fear of death, but they didn't know that the weapons in their hands were in response to the other party's fight nine out of ten times. How to fight this battle?

Mou Biao sighed with his hands behind his back,

"This matter is not just about money, but it's not without money, but this empty salary has never been stopped!"

The army cannot be rectified, and it is a bottomless pit if it fills in as much money. Therefore, the people of the Ministry of War will not talk about rectifying the military governance. Just asking for money is a rogue!

It seems that these other works are pretty good, and the Ministry of Revenue is the big one. When I was in court today, Wang Wanting, the Minister of Revenue, took the initiative and spread the account book out. Even Zhu Houzhao was scared.

According to Mr. Wang’s account, the millions of taels of silver he had to be returned would not even be heard when he threw it in.

"Is the Daqing Account and Administration so deficit?"

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has little responsibility here, and many of them are famines owed by the emperors in the front. For example, when Emperor Hongzhi was still alive, he had done a lot of things, but he could not prevent God from not giving face. There were disasters everywhere, and the court was

The silver is not enough, and many taxes are collected in advance. Now that we have arrived at Emperor Zhengde, natural disasters are still constant and taxes cannot be collected. So the silver he has to be cursed and he has heard a lot of money he has to come back together, but once he has spread it
Chapter completed!
